Killed my MiniDSP EARS from too many damping experiments but I have a dynamic mic handy. Measured a 1dB-ish shelf in the lows through middle-mids. Surprised I caught that. Jiggling gain helped, all sorted, but I'm just keeping it on high now.

I get channel imbalance with a Piety at low volume, but I haven't noticed gain influencing it. I want to check that again.

Please don't force it. I ended up getting the gain switch on my Magni 3+ stuck midway between settings trying to wiggle center image back into place, haha.

Hasn't been an issue on Piety, but I keep that on high gain. I was experimenting with Unity and wondered why things were suddenly panned slightly left. Thought my Senns were crapping out and I got worried after seeing @MLegend's post about them just a couple days before.

Like, channel imbalance that only shows up after changing the gain while the amp's on, or just different channel balance from high to low gain period?

High humidity corrosion fuckery?

@Wilewarer the former. With the 3+ I had to flip the switch a bunch, wiggle it laterally to re-center image. Piety and Unity are fine now, I'm just never touching gain settings unless I have to.

@Sqveak ugh, likely. Hate it. No real reason to use lower gain for me unless I try with IEMs. Likely never going to now haha.
